SchoolGenius.com Educational Media

As a teacher I soon learned to ignore what I had been told about students entering my classroom and give them a chance to prove themselves a positive influence. A new year, for a student can be a time to start fresh and change past poor behavior. But this may not occur if teachers or parents assume that students can not change.

The words we utter to children or adults can cause them to grow and flourish and try for impossible things or to wither and want  to die to escape the misery our words have caused. -Cpedley

Our philosophy is that genius is often inspired rather than just being an ability that some are born with. I should say that some geniuses never make much of themselves.

Some people who seem NOT TO be very bright HAVE been inspired to reach higher and have become amazing successes!

Schoolgenius offers advice, freeware, & wonderful software bargains that you may not be aware of.

We have also been collecting movies which inspire us to reach up rather than look down.

I've been a happy Olltwit user for years - I downloaded several of your programs back in '04, for my older son to use. Now it's time for my younger son to use them, and I've come back to your site to find 1) I owe you, and 2) you have more great stuff. I'm happy to pay up because I know the quality of your software.

A FEW INSPIRING MOVIES - For more see our blog!

We Are Marshall

 I just got finished watching the movie, "We Are Marshall". An amazing story of a 1970 plane crash that killed ALL of Marshall University's Football team, coaches and many friends. Instead of cancelling football, which would have been reasonable with only a few players left who could not be on the plane that fateful day, they got permission to use freshmen who triumphed in their second game. The new coach, Jack Lengyel, apparently a hall-of-famer motivated them by telling them they could NOT be defeated even if the other team had more points on the board. They would still be winners for playing older and superior teams and keeping football alive at Marshall. I am not much of a sports fan, and certainly NOT a football fan, but I am always a fan of the human spirit in triumph!

It reminded me of what I used to tell my primary students at Lloyd Rice School on Quaker Road, Welland.

I told them that winners were those who tried hard and helped others.

Yes it is nice to actually have more points or a higher score but what really counts is, "Did you give it your best?" and "Did you try to help others be their best?"  

If you did and if you do, my friend, YOU ARE A WINNER!!!                                                     -
